Comedy of errors engulfs Israel's top economic team
https://str.sg/wg7Q
JERUSALEM (REUTERS) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was starting a meeting with his team of Middle East peace negotiators last week when Mr Leo Leiderman, his second choice to lead the Bank of Israel, called.
Just 48 hours earlier, on July 31, Mr Leiderman had agreed to replace central bank governor Stanley Fischer, who once taught US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and whose reputation had lifted Israel's international economic profile.
Mr Leiderman, the second nominee to drop out in less than a week, had changed his mind for undisclosed personal reasons, raising questions not only over Mr Netanyahu's judgment but also much wider concerns about Israel's economic management.
The news drew a characteristic response from Israel's Finance Minister Yair Lapid, until last year a popular television talkshow host, who joked on his Facebook page that economics professors were "a very colourful and wild bunch".
But the withdrawal was no joke for Israel's credibility, with a risk of the vacuum left by Mr Fischer, who had announced in January that he would leave in June, remaining for many weeks.
Compounding the uncertainty, the top ranks of Israel's stock exchange are also in turmoil. The chief executive officer and chairman both resigned last month amidst acrimony over plunging trading volumes and increased government regulations.
"In the last four months, very significant mistakes have been made and people feel there is no economic leadership," said one senior government official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"This is going to frighten potential investors."
Mr Netanyahu's first choice for central bank chief was Mr Jacob Frenkel, who ran the bank in the 1990s and is currently chairman of JPMorgan Chase International.
He pulled out after Israel's press reported an incident in a shop in Hong Kong's airport in 2006. He was not charged and said he had withdrawn his bid because of a "witch hunt".
Mr Leiderman has not explained his decision, leaving the media to debate whether it was because of revelations that he used to consult astrologers or other skeletons in his cupboard.
Some politicians question whether the intrusive, public system of vetting candidates will deter top talent.
"Only a madman would offer his candidacy for governor of the Bank of Israel," the chairman of parliament's finance committee, Mr Nissan Slomiansky, told a hearing on Wednesday.
Others question whether Mr Netanyahu, focused on geo-political concerns such as the newly resumed Palestinian peace talks, is paying enough attention to economic issues.
Barclays Capital emerging markets economist, Mr Daniel Hewitt said mass protests on the streets of Israel in 2011 forced Netanyahu, a fan of free markets, to change tack.
Mr Hewitt said: "He was on a path to lowering taxes and deregulation, but the demonstrations derailed him... Economics became less important in his agenda and foreign affairs became more important."
The government has denied dropping the ball on the economy and Mr Netanyahu has said he regretted the decision of both Mr Frenkel and Mr Leiderman to withdraw their central bank candidacies.
Some economists argue that government policy drawn up in the wake of the social protests, aimed at lowering prices and tackling Israel's powerful conglomerates, have exacerbated the problems afflicting the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE).
Reforms of the telecommunications sector aimed at boosting competition, combined with pledges by Mr Netanyahu and Mr Lapid to hike some corporate tax rates have sent investors fleeing.
"You would have to pause before you invest in Israeli stocks," said veteran stock market analyst Richard Gussow.
"Who knows what is next? The pendulum has swung too far and politicians who want to win votes push regulation that is detrimental to the economy and the stock market," he added.
Trading on TASE has slid to a daily average of 1.1 billion shekels (S$357 million) this year, from two billion in 2010.
Israel's Securities Authority (ISA) has accused TASE's management of failing to adopt to a changing environment.
When he resigned last month, TASE Chairman Saul Bronfeld blamed interference from the ISA, government regulations and wider economic concerns for deterring investors.
Israel's economic outlook would be the envy of many other nations, with the economy set to grow by 3.8 per cent in 2013, but dark clouds lie on the horizon.
The country's emergence as an energy-rich nation risks pushing up the value of the shekel because it no longer has to import so much dollar-denominated fuel and can even start making exports, altering the shape of its balance of payments.
Perhaps counter-intuitively, the government's failure to find a new central bank governor has caused the shekel to strengthen rather than weaken, with speculators testing the resolve of the bank to push back against market forces.
The currency hit a two-year high against the dollar this week. Since the end of May, it has gained some 5 per cent, with half that move coming since Mr Fischer left.
"It is less important who will be the next governor, but rather that a decision should be made soon," said Mr Nir Omid, head of investments at financial services company Tamir Fishman.
Mr Fischer's deputy Karnit Flug has been put in temporary charge. Twice overlooked as a permanent choice, she says she will quit once a successor is in place.
Mr Barry Topf, senior advisor to the governor and a member of the bank's monetary policy committee, told Reuters the shekel had been more stable than other currencies during recent market volatility and denied the bank was rudderless.
Guided by Mr Fischer's macro-economic know-how, Israel's economy flourished, posting the highest growth rates in the West between 2009 and 2012. Israel was the only developed country whose sovereign credit rating was raised during that time.
Mr Lapid, whose new political party came a surprise second in January elections, has no economic experience and some of his decision-making has come under attack, including an abrupt announcement that the budget deficit target was being hiked.
His office declined any comment. The minister has previously said he inherited a budget hole he did not have time to plug.
Mr Lapid still has far to go to establish his credentials. A poll this week on the parliamentary TV channel said 78 per cent of Israelis do not trust him as finance minister.
"He is not a media star anymore. He is responsible for the economy so he needs to change his attitude," the senior government official said.
"Any problem and he makes jokes."

Confessions of a Neighborhood Blogger
July 1, 2013 - 11:25am
By Julie Inzanti
Born-and-bred New Yorker Jen Galatioto is the latest to add her voice to BrickUnderground's Confessions of a Neighborhood Blogger series.
Galatioto grew up in Middle Village, Queens, but when she moved to Greenpoint, Brooklyn in 2010 she found a real sense of community and home and wanted to blog about it. So a year later she bought the blog Greenpointers from Justine Carroll, who founded it in 2007.
She redesigned Greenpointers and built it into a local resource for the community and its surrounding areas in North Brooklyn--Williamsburg, Bed-Stuy and Bushwick--covering art, music, food, culture, local news and community events. Greenpointers got about 3,000 unique visitors per month in 2011 but that number has grown to over 20,000 under Galatioto's stewardship.
Galatioto says she really knew her investment in the blog was the right decision when she saw the impact it had on the community. Greenpointers was able to raise over $11,000 for Sandy relief efforts. The site has also become lucrative enough to pay writers for their creative content.
Though she recently purchased an apartment in nearby Ridgewood, Queens, Galatioto still maintains a work-studio in Greenpoint. And Greenpointers isn't just a pet project for Galatioto—it is her job. This year she quit her full-time job as a product/interiors photographer for Polo Ralph Lauren to focus on Greenpointers and work on her freelance photography career.
1. What would you tell someone moving in?
Be friendly. Greenpoint is the kind of place where you walk down the street and you see friendly faces. Smile. Running into friends is the best part of being a Greenpointer. Buy local--especially food--and support local small businesses and makers. That's what neighborhoods are all about!
2. Where are the best deals in the neighborhood in terms of real estate? What about in terms of dining/entertainment?
Greenpoint rents are getting higher and higher, so if you are in a great apartment then stay there! You can get more affordable deals near McGolrick Park, which is on "the other side" of McGuinness.
As far as restaurants, there are plenty of great options. Polish food here is delicious, authentic and very inexpensive. Try Lomzynianka on Manhattan Ave or Northside Bakery on Nassau. We have a ton of great pizza places, like Vinnie's, Franklin Pizza and Triangulo and Paulie Gee's. Meat pies from Diamond Bar are delicious and the Korean food in the basement of No Name Bar is a really good deal. Calexico and Manhattan Ave happy hours are also steals.
3. What's the most coveted location within the neighborhood to live?
The most beautiful blocks are Russell Street, across from McGolrick Park and the historical blocks, like Milton Street. and Kent Street. A lot of the action in terms of shopping and nightlife is by Franklin Street, near the waterfront, too.
4. Is there a dream building in the neighborhood?
Any of the old brownstones and historical homes on Milton Street or Kent Street are very dreamy. If you can live in an entire old firehouse--that would rule, too!
5. Any buildings that feel out of place with the feel of the neighborhood?
All of the new construction. Big glass modern structures definitely don't fit in among the aluminum siding wood frame houses, which are very characteristic of Greenpoint.
6. Any real estate-related controversy brewing or currently happening in the neighborhood?
There is a plan to build what is called Greenpoint Landing--10 highrise towers on the waterfront that could be 30-40 stories high.
The PR team behind the development angered the community when it said they are planning to "create a community" on the waterfront--as if a community does not exist there already.
The strain on Greenpoint's infrastructure and transportation, with the little engine that could G train, is of major concern as well as enough affordable housing for low income families. Also--most buildings in Greenpoint top out at six stories, so these monsters certainly won't fit into the aesthetic and the "stoop" culture we have here.
7. Is the G-train really as bad as they say? Any advice for using it?
If you are a commuter it's NOT that bad during commuting hours. It can be crowded and it doesn't come as often as the L train, but it is reliable.
If you are traveling on the G line late at night--take a cab instead. That is when the wait times are longer than usual.
I like the G train. It's much better than it once was, but still has a long way to go especially if they plan on continuing to build more residences in Greenpoint.
Note: The G train will NOT be running for a bunch of weekends this summer between Greenpoint Avenue station and Long Island City because of repairs to the tube they need to do that was badly damaged during Sandy. Check the MTA website to be safe.
8. How has the neighborhood changed in the past five years? Any projections on how it will change in the next five?
Greenpoint went from being the affordable neighbor of Williamsburg to a destination in its own right, thanks to tons of amazing new bars, restaurants, art galleries, parks and improved transportation with the East River Ferry.
While tons of new young residents have moved in, the old Polish community is still very alive here. If we increase the population by 25% with the new developments on the waterfront, then there will be even more new residents, which will bring in even more new businesses, schools and hopefully open spaces. Greenpoint is no longer, and most likely won't ever be as affordable, as it once was. It is prime real estate.
9. What do you think your "sister" neighborhood might be?
Probably Ridgewood has a similar feel to how many people describe Greenpoint--quiet, with lots of families, plus lots of Polish people, who are moving from Greenpoint to Ridgewood, lots of creative people looking for large studio spaces, and a gorgeous historical district.
9. Which neighborhood feels like the opposite of your neighborhood?
Long Island City, which seems more like a place for commuters to get to Midtown quickly. I don't live there, so it's not fair for me to say, but I don't get the same sense of community there. It seems more transient, perhaps a step toward or away from Manhattan.
There are lots of new big high-rises there, too, which Greenpoint doesn't have--not yet. High rises create a vertical landscape that is very different from the landscape of old railroads that Greenpoint has. Here you know everyone on your block.
10. Would you stay in this neighborhood forever if you could?
I actually don't live in Greenpoint. I recently moved to Ridgewood because I found an amazing deal on an apartment to buy, which has always been a dream of mine.
I bought a two-bedroom with a basement, second bathroom and yard. The price was SO UNBELIEVABLY LOW. It needs some work but was well worth it. I bought it out of foreclosure for $175,000.
By bike Ridgewood is about 20 minutes from Greenpoint. It's a nice ride until you have to travel through Bushwick via Flushing Ave, Metropolitan Ave or Morgan Ave. They need to work on a better connection between Ridgewood/Bushwick & Williamsburg/Greenpoint since there are way too many ghost bikes along Morgan Ave & Metropolitan Ave. Ghost bikes mark the spot where bikers have been hit and killed by cars.
I have a studio in Greenpoint where I work. I pay $330 per month for the studio space which is a shared co-working space that I can also use as an event space for classes / art shows / screenings, etc.
I think it's important to recognize that a lot of people live in other areas and work in Greenpoint and still make positive contributions to the neighborhood. The ironic thing is that the savings of moving to Ridgewood afforded me the opportunity to quit my day job and work on Greenpointers full-time.
Being a born and raised New Yorker, I think I might become crazy if I stay in the city forever--although it may be too late!
11. Where else would you want to live?
I dream of living in a place with fresh air surrounded by gorgeous trees. So if I were to leave the city altogether, I would need to move to a place where I could see huge gorgeous mountains every day, but would have a cool creative downtown where I could be part of a community and there MUST great food. I should probably visit the Pacific Northwest--I hear that's what it is like out there.
12. What is one of the biggest misconceptions about the neighborhood?
It's filled with "dirty trust fund hipsters." The word hipster is a strange derogatory term and some feel that "they" are "taking over" the neighborhood. The same reason young (perhaps creative) people settled here is the same reason "original" Greenpointers' moved in--because it was affordable and a nice place to live. That being said, for those moving in there are a lot more friendly and embracing "original" Greenpointers than there are hipster-haters.

Vatican spokesman Alessandro Gisotti said the retreat was created to facilitate "encounter and reconciliation, in a spirit of respect and trust", and would bring together those leaders who have "the responsibility to work for a future of peace and prosperity for the South Sudanese people". The group met for two days on Wednesday to "reflect and pray" for mission, peace, and prosperity for the South Sudanese people, a statement from the interim director of the Holy See Press Office, Alessandro Gisotti, said.
The meeting between the two men had been billed as "an occasion for encounter and reconciliation, in a spirit of respect and trust", the Vatican said, describing it as "both ecumenical and diplomatic at the same time". Welby had proposed the idea of the retreat to the pope.
Speaking in South Sudan's capital Juba previous year, President Kiir apologised to citizens for the suffering they were subjected to during the war.
The Pope's words were made even more pressing as anxiety grew in South Sudan over whether Thursday's coup in neighbouring Sudan could scupper a fragile peace deal that ended South Sudan's brutal five-year civil war. He also repeated his wish to visit the country along with other religious leaders to solidify the peace.
Despite a peace agreement signed last summer (News, 14 September 2018), millions of civilians are bearing the brunt of the civil conflict, which is estimated to have killed almost 190,000 people. "In other words, He will ask us to render an account not only of our own lives, but the lives of others as well", the pope said. The Pope also kissed their feet.
"We have clearly heard the cry of the poor and the needy; it rises up to heaven, to the very heart of God our Father, who desires to grant them justice and peace", he said.
"The objective of this retreat is for us to stand together before God and to discern his will", he continued.
Others who attended the retreat were the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, who is spiritual leader of the worldwide Anglican community, members of the South Sudan Council of Churches, and other Catholic and Presbyterian Church leaders from Africa.


Munich - During the Bundesliga's historic 50th season Germany's top-flight was awash with highly-coveted, young talents who caught the attention of scouts the world over, whilst regularly getting the record-breaking crowds on their feet. The 2013/14 campaign promises to be no different.
Borussia Dortmund's Ilkay Gündogan turned heads with his outstanding composure on both the domestic and international stages, while Heung-Min Son's performances proved eye-catching enough to earn him a summer transfer to UEFA Champions League participants Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
However, when it comes to 'ones to watch' in the upcoming campaign, neither make the cut, as in part two of a two part series, bundesliga.com takes a look at the most promising players, who will be 20 years old or younger come the start of the season.

Last weekend I raced my final triathlon of the year – the Strathmore Women's Triathlon. I figured a fun, no pressure, beginner friendly race would be a great way to finish off the season. Except as the race approached I all of a sudden got really nervous about it! Luckily I had a lot of friends racing that day too, so it was great to have them for company to help calm the nerves.
Neil, Tara and I drove out to Strathmore nice and early in the morning, aiming to arrive with plenty of time to set up in transition and be there in advance of the 8 am athlete meeting. We found a spot to set up near some fellow teammates, then headed over to get our timing chips and get body marked.
After the meeting I had a lot of downtime waiting for my swim heat. Since this race has a pool swim the relay racers and the slower swimmers start first. All of the waiting around was just making my nerves more jumpy! Finally it was time to start lining up in the pool!
The line moved quickly and before I knew it, it was my turn to get in the pool.
I felt really great in the water. We were well spaced out and I stopped to let one lady pass me part way through. With two laps left to go a lady got in the water just ahead of me and started breaststroking. I was motivated to pass her so that helped me to speed up at the end.
The bike course is fairly flat, but it was crazy windy out! I tried to spend as much time in aero as possible and keep my turnover high. It wasn't long before Tara passed me. It was next to impossible to hear her as she went by as the wind was so loud in my ears! The kilometres ticked off quickly and before I knew it, I was at the turnaround. My teammate Shannon was just ahead of me so I figured I should be able to catch her. I also figured the wind should be at our backs but somehow I didn't get the reprieve I thought I should!
Shannon was pretty wily on the bike! She must have seen me at the turnaround and made it her mission to put the hammer down. I could not close the gap between us at all! I also chewed on some Honey Stinger chews in the last part of the ride.
T2: 0:36 – Pretty sure I hit the lap button late here!
I tried to boot it out of transition as quickly as possible. Shannon was still just head of me, so I hoped I'd be able to catch her on the run.
I also really wanted to go sub 30 on the run and I knew the pace I needed in order to make that happen. Just like on the bike I could not reel Shannon in. I just made it my goal to keep her in my sights. I was able to hold the pace I needed through the half way point but you could tell I was working hard. My breathing was not easy and my legs were fading. I had to take a few walk breaks and my goal was slipping out of reach. I couldn't see Shannon anymore either. I forget how hard 5Ks are!
Finally the finish line was in sight.
Today wasn't my day to hit my goal, but it will be there soon enough! Overall it was a really fun day. I love the atmosphere at this race as everyone is so positive and cheers each other on. There were some speedy girls out there too, so I'm pretty happy with a finish in the top 10 in my age group. Thanks to everyone for a really great race!
That's a great shot of you in T2! Crop and you've got a good profile shot for Facebook.
Great photos and recap. I think you had an awesome race!!!!


These women's Kleo rhinestone plastic-frame reading glasses are stylish and sensible at the same time. They don't come right out and grab people's attention, which is both a blessing and a curse. When someone wants to put on something more sensible for a night out on the town, they will reach for these glasses. Many social occasions have a certain dress code that's not necessarily flamboyant and in your face. That's where these glasses will come in handy. They have exactly what people need to complete a conservative ensemble. You won't need anything more or less to pull off the look you want.

Love to see people who look past color and fall in love with the September queen I have 3 sides the quiet shirt and of a woman or man. God bless your future union to the sky and beyond. Those who are giving her advise on what she can and cannot do! Who are you to do so? She did not ask for anyone's opinion!
Congratulate her and keep it moving! Do you know her personally? Probably not! Smh. People crack me up. Worry about yourself pull out a mirror tell yaself to mind ya own September queen I have 3 sides the quiet shirt! Stay in your lane folks! What makes Chad and Michelle so holier than thou?
First of all he doesn't dress like a pastor or a man of God. Looks more like a hip hop artiste. There are a lot of people in the world today who are in church but are still out in the September queen I have 3 sides the quiet shirt. Not because you attend church or speak about God means that you are really following or connected to him.

Disneylanding is easy, and this article aims to give tips on how to enjoy Disneylanding. But before you Disneyland, you actually have to get to a Disneyland first, and the one in Hong Kong is not that hard to find. Just go to the nearest MTR station and press Disneyland on the screen of the ticket dispensing machine. It is somewhere on the left, pink line. You have to transfer trains at Sunny Bay station. Disneyland is the only station (aside from Sunny Bay) on that line. The ride won't take more than 10 minutes. After that, you are free to Disneyland the whole day! You can Disneyland with your family. You can Disneyland with your friends. You can Disneyland with your ex. You can Disneyland with Mickey Mouse. You can Disneyland with anyone! How exciting! Hooray!
Hong Kong Disneyland bored me to death. I think it is one of the most self-absorbed theme parks I've ever been to. The only thrill ride is Space Mountain, which is an indoor roller coaster in the dark. Hello. You can't fear what you can't see. The first ride I had was Autopia, where you drive a car but you can't even speed up or cause a highway pileup because there is no highway and the movement of the car is restricted by the gutter at the middle of the track that prevents you from going anywhere but forward. The ride took less than ten minutes. I lined up for an hour.
Luckily, the Space Mountain Ride has the Fastpass option. You use your admission ticket to get a Fastpass ticket at the ride entrance. After that you could come back after an hour and skip the queue outside. That doesn't mean that there is no queue inside. You still have to fall in line with the others who also have a Fastpass. The line moved faster anyway so there is no issue here. I actually have a video of the ride but most of it is black with random screaming of "waaaaahhhhh!!!" and "wheeeeeeeehhh!!!" as soundtrack. There are no more thrill rides after this unless you consider spinning teacups exciting, which leads me to the question: What are you, eight?
You Disneyland best when you are a Disney baby. Did you grow up with Aladdin and the Lion King? Good. Don't miss the Golden Mickeys and the Philharmagic. They sing songs from your childhood, and this is an essential part of Disneylanding. Otherwise, you would bore yourself to death and you might not want to Disneyland again, at least in Hong Kong. I've heard that Disneylanding in Tokyo or in Los Angeles is more thrilling. We will confirm that information in the future.
Like what I said in the corresponding Youtube video, HK Disneyland relies more on its glittery parades and extravagant musicals rather than thrill rides. There is a parade of Disney characters near the theater where the Golden Mickeys are held. As for the time I wouldn't really know. I actually have the brochure in my backpack but I'm too lazy to check. So check it yourself when you get there.
The Golden Mickeys that I attended was in Cantonese, although the songs are in English. A reporter in white introduces the show, which she is a part of. There are TVs on both sides of the stage which flash the dialogue in Chinese characters (left) and English (right). The cast comes in from the side entrances. You can touch them if they don't mind, but not maliciously, please. This is a children's show. I tried to trip one of them but my legs are too short. They would tell you that recording the show is prohibited, but the dozen people in the rows in front of me didn't seem to have understood. Neither were they apprehended. Hey, that's PJ Valerio! I didn't know theater actors in the Philippines have alternative careers here. Well, now I do. He plays the Captain in Mulan. Tarzan and Quasimodo also have solo performances.
The Philharmagic is a 3D show which features animated Disney characters singing and dancing. The ensemble is led by Donald Duck who tries to catch Mickey's enchanted hat in vain. He only does so after Jasmine hands it over to him after the A Whole New World song number whilst on the magic carpet. This attraction was depressing for me because of the songs. If Aladdin's genie would offer me three wishes, one of them would certainly be a trip back to when I was less than ten. Living life as an adult sucks, right? Too many complications left and right! I'd rather be a kid again and sing I Just Can't Wait To Be King or Hakuna Matata all day long.
You can meet and greet popular Disney characters and take a picture with them, like Snow White in the photo above. They are all game and in character. I wonder if they would still be if you pull their wig or slap them. Oops, sorry, let's stay wholesome here. This is a park for children! Anyway, I admire the patience those people have. It must be hard to pretend that you are a Disney princess in that elaborate ball gown under the blazing sun. If I were forced to do a similar job I'd probably end up pushing the children to the waterfall behind me. Lawsuit. And there's no way I'm wearing a gown... but if the pay is worth it then why not. Money is hard to come by nowadays, nyahahaha.
There is another attraction that I think was worth it. My camera seemed to love it a lot given the many photos taken. It's called "It's a Small World". You ride a small boat in an indoor park where there are cute displays of dolls dancing and singing It's a Small World in different languages, including Tagalog. The areas are grouped geographically and the Philippines is represented by two fair-skinned dolls with an open Spanish-style umbrella in a nipa hut. Cute. I think I was amazed by this attraction because it's like going back to being a kid, and they took the It's a Small World song literally. Since the dolls sing and dance there is no boring moment inside. I was also able to rest from all the walking. I just sat back there and relaxed.
After that I saw the parade of Disney characters and explored Tarzan's tree house and the river where you have to ride a raft to get to the other side. There is also a boat cruise which tours you around the river with a view of fake but moving animals. After a snack of Tiramisu I just wandered around with no place to go in particular. It's tiring to move about in that heat. I took my final ride on the train that goes around the whole vicinity before riding the train back to Sunnybay. Go to Disneyland and Disneyland ad nauseam if you want a trip down memory lane. If adventure is what you seek, you might want to go to Ocean Park instead. Happy Disneylanding!

Thousands of mourners have lined the streets of Bradley Lowery's home town for his funeral.
The six-year-old Sunderland fan, from Blackhall Colliery, County Durham, died on Friday following a cancer fight.
Footballer Jermain Defoe, who forged a strong bond with Bradley, joined his family in the cortege.
The service, held at St Joseph's Church in the village, paid tribute to an "incredible little boy with a huge personality".
Roads leading to the church were decked with balloons and tributes. Messages and mementos were also left outside Sunderland's Stadium of Light.
Speakers broadcast the funeral service to the crowds outside the church who were unable to make it inside.
Bradley's family wore football shirts in honour of his love of the sport.
His mother, Gemma, told the congregation: "He had a smile so big and beautiful it could brighten any room. A real brave superhero, he left us all too soon.
"He touched the hearts of many - the most inspirational boy. A loving, caring son and brother - a beautiful star.
"Although your time with us was short, you must have a job to do in heaven with the angels as God has chosen you.
"For now my baby we'll say goodbye. We'll meet again our superhero high up in the sky."

Rover 2000 – 1963
August 3, 2016 by admin	Leave a Comment
The P6 would be the last of Rover's P6 classification model lines but –even after it was finally discontinued –not many people knew that, because the three P6 models were invariably known by the engine size-2000, 2200 or 3500.The Rover 2000 replaced the P4 in 1963 and was an entirely new design.
The somewhat angular shape was very different from is comfortably rounded predecessor but was very much in tune with the times, being voted European Car of the Year in 1964.
This was in part due to advanced features like an all synchro gearbox, four-wheel disc brakes and de Dion tube, rear suspension. The 2 liter overhead-cam engine had been designed for the P6 2000 with a flat Heron head that had combustion chambers let into the piston heads. This would be redesigned and fitted with twin SU carburetors for the 2000 TC, upping the power output by a quarter. This performance version had competed in rally competition and was primarily intended for export to America, though it was available on the home market, from late '66.
The next evolution' was the Rover 3500, which was launched in 1968 with the powerful aluminium V8 engine already used to good effect in the Rover PSG. Both 2000 and 3500 were offered side by side, jointly seeing a major revision in 1970 with a Mk II version that delivered minor styling changes and art enhanced interior. The battery was moved to the boot, further encroaching on already limited luggage space.
The 2000 continued in production until the Rover 2200 appeared in 1973 with a bored-out version of the 2000 engine, allowing the 2000 to be honourably retired. Production of the entire P6 series finally came to an end in 1977 after a long and commercially successful run.
FIRST MANUFACTURED:
1963 (UNTIL 1973)
1,978 cc Straight Four
ROVER 2000 TC – top speed of 112 mph(180 km/h); 0-60 mph(97 km/h) in 9,9 secs
YOU SHOULD KNOW:
The rarest of P6s are the fewer 200 that were converted to Estoura estate cars. With Rover's blessing, the work being undertaken by H.R Owen and Crayford Engineering – though is is thought that a minority of these were actually based on Rover 2000s.

Tasting: Brown-Forman Up or Over Bottled Cocktails (Margarita, Old Fashioned)
By Jim Vorel | April 4, 2022 | 4:29pm
Photos via Brown-Forman Drink Features cocktails
As the ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktail and mixed drink market continues to surge, and countless brands trip all over themselves in a rush to enter the market and establish their niche, it is safe to say that my opinions have begun to crystalize in terms of what makes for a top-flight canned drink. The best examples that this genre has to offer are often versions of classic cocktails with little to no ornamentation—it can be nice, sure, to taste a fancifully flavored version of an old fashioned or margarita occasionally, but do you really want can after can of them in your fridge? The goal, here—the reason for the segment's existence—is theoretically to provide high-quality versions of everyday staple cocktails, at a maximum of convenience. Just open a can, or a bottle, pour, and you're ready to relax or entertain, without having to mix drinks yourself. That's the theory, anyway.
This theory, though, requires a few things on the part of the product. It demands a certain transparency on what is in the can, or the bottle, in order to feel like you're getting a legitimate cocktail. It demands some assurance that quality ingredients are being used. And most important, it demands that the product ultimately resemble the kind of cocktail that you would get from a bar, or mix for yourself.
On the first front, the new lineup of bottled cocktails from Brown-Forman, titled Up or Over, has a few things going for it because they're actually made with brand-name spirits. Unlike many on the market now, they can list not just that they're using tequila, but Herradura Tequila. They're making an old fashioned not just with any random whiskey, but Old Forester Bourbon. Those names pack some definite cache, and they're the selling point of Up or Over for a reason.
However ... it doesn't matter what spirits are used, if the final result is lacking assertiveness or potency. And I'm afraid that's what's going on with these Up or Over cocktails—they've been watered down (presumably to save costs) to such an extent that despite the quality ingredients they pale in comparison to some of the more legitimate canned cocktails now on the market. The company seems to be relying on the brand names to do all the heavy lifting, rather than the cocktails themselves, and that is unfortunate.
The Up or Over lineup consists of the following four drinks:
— Classic Dry Martini – Made with Fords Gin, 28% ABV (56 proof)
— Whisky Sour – Made with Gentleman Jack Tennessee Whiskey, 15% ABV (30 proof)
— Premium Margarita – Made with Herradura Tequila, 15% ABV (30 proof)
— Ginger Citrus Old Fashioned – Made with Old Forester Bourbon, 28.5% ABV (57 proof)
The four cocktails are hitting shelves in Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, Oregon and Washington now. I received samples of just the margarita and the old fashioned, so let's get to tasting and I'll explain how these unfortunately fall flat.
Up or Over Premium Margarita
ABV: 15% (30 proof)
This is "premium" in the sense that a margarita becomes "premium" when made with call liquor rather than well liquor, but one has to question how much a brand of tequila matters when it's ultimately been diluted to this degree. Just reading the instructions on the back gives you an idea of how far this 375 ml bottle is really meant to be stretched. Keep in mind, it's bottled at an initial 15% ABV. The back then reads:
"Recommended serve: For best results, chill first. Add to a shaker with ice and shake hard so that some ice melts. Pour over fresh ice into a margarita glass."
Suffice to say, they want you to take an already significantly diluted margarita and shake it again, diluting it even further before serving. It's hard to avoid concluding that they're trying to get as many serving sizes out of this bottle as possible. By means of comparison, I recently reviewed some canned cocktails from Golden Rule Spirits, which also included an old fashioned and a margarita. That canned drink, which also consisted of only tequila, lime juice and triple sec, is presented at a significantly more robust 27% ABV (54 proof), and recommends the drinker simply open the can and pour over ice rather than diluting it again. Considering the second shake that Up or Over is recommending, that might make the Golden Rule version of the margarita almost 2.5 times more potent. And that's such a huge difference that it almost makes comparing the two impossible.
As for how the Up or Over Premium Margarita tastes, it's actually not as bad as I feared it might be—light tequila on the nose, with sweet orange oil, leading into sweet tequila on the palate, with lots of candied orange and an unusual, more herbaceous note that tastes a lot like cucumber. What's more noticeably off here is the texture of the drink, which is notably watery and vaguely disconcerting. The entire effect has an uncanny valley vibe to it, and it makes me question whether pre-bottled cocktails like the margarita are ever really worthwhile when one can so easily make a better drink with a minute or two of effort. Still, if one company like Golden Rule Spirits can produce a canned version of this drink that delivers the full flavor you expect from a margarita, our expectation must morph to expect the same from the competition.
Up or Over Ginger Citrus Old Fashioned
ABV: 28.5% (57 proof)
The bottled old fashioned from Up or Over has a bit of a ginger spice twist to it, but is otherwise a standard old fashioned, purportedly with a recipe designed by Old Forester Master Taster Jackie Zykan. I do appreciate that this bottle is designed to simply be poured over ice in a lowball glass and immediately served, but I have to say, if Jackie Zykan was mixing up a cocktail like this for a visitor at the Old Forester distillery, I highly doubt she would be diluting it to 28.5% ABV (57 proof) before pouring it over the ice in your glass.
Once again, let's compare with the canned cocktails from Golden Rule Spirits that I tasted not long ago. Their old fashioned weighs in at 39.5% ABV (79 proof) out of the can, and there's no clearer indication of the drink's simplicity—it's literally just whiskey, bitters and some simple syrup. So how does one account for a reduction all the way down to 28.5% ABV in this Brown-Forman version? There's really only one possible conclusion: Water, and a significant amount of it. And honestly, if that's how you like your cocktails, then go ahead, more power to you. But even if you prefer some more dilution, you could just as easily achieve that dilution for yourself if Brown-Forman had bottled this drink at a more respectable strength. Why not give drinkers that option? I will struggle to accept any rationale that the 28.5% ABV was chosen because it was the "right" proof point for this flavor profile, rather than the more profitable proof point.
As for how the Ginger Citrus Old Fashioned tastes, it's as approachable and easy drinking as you would likely expect it to be. Ginger is present on the nose, but it's pretty subtle, with citrus and oak trailing. On the palate, it's light in texture and a bit watery, with mild caramel sweetness that evokes Werther's Originals, along with hints of orange candy. The ginger contributes subtle flavor, and no noticeable heat.
The irony here, for the old fashioned in particular, is that not only is is easy to make a much more flavorful version of this drink at home in a few moments, but that the Old Forester brand already sells products to help you do exactly that. Their Old Fashioned Syrup is an excellent staple that can speed up the whole process, essentially making the process of mixing a cocktail as simple as "add bourbon and stir." And the drink you produce by doing this will be FAR more flavorful and interesting than the one coming out of this Up or Over bottle. Even for a reasonable $15 per 375 ml bottle, I struggle to recommend you do anything but mix your own, more flavorful and satisfying cocktails.
After all, don't you deserve the best cocktail you can get, for roughly the same amount of effort?

Every entrepreneur is made by the decisions he or she makes. Every entrepreneur is faced with make or break decisions; life or death, success or failure, whether a CEO, a hair stylist or a hot dog vendor. It makes no difference.
Where is Decision Making Learned?
And yet, how many entrepreneurs (or people in general) are taught decision making? And by whom? Mom and Dad? A Boss? The School of Hard Knocks? The playground? High School or College?
Where is the instruction book?
In truth, decision making is most often "caught" instead of being "taught". People pick up clues to decision making throughout their lives and piece together a system of decision making through trial and error as they go. Some get good at it, while others don't.
Entrepreneurship, the art of building the business of your Life, is dependent upon these decisions. Doesn't it make sense to master decision making as part of it?
So why don't more entrepreneurs learn decision making?
Decision making isn't taught very often.
It's also like breathing, no one notices that we do it all day every day, and few think about mastering their breathing, even though it has be shown throughout the ages that mastering breathing improves one's health and mind.
Many people have no clue what their priorities are, and hence can't make decisions.
Decisions require information and knowledge. This is sometimes hard work.
One mistake can cost a lifetime of work or be worth millions. There is a presumption that if someone has enough information, they will make a right decision. Not so. In fact, more information can lead to overwhelm.
Think about the list of decisions each person must make every day; mindset, health, life, career, family, home, economy and fun. How many people are like deer in the headlights of an oncoming car – paralyzed by complexity?
Decision Making is like a martial art. It is a discipline, a philosophy and a practice. In order to master any martial art, to train the body and mind in motion in a highly dynamic environment, one must begin by acknowledging one's status as a novice and then take the steps to become an expert.
The same applies to decision making. Decision making can be broken down into steps and then practiced and mastered.
With decision making mastery, what used to be big decisions seem small. Anguish and uncertainty can be replaced with confidence and clarity. Procrastination is transformed to action. Good decisions can be made faster. Bad decisions can be realized and responded to sooner.
Every Leader is made by their decisions. Inexperienced decision making makes for an inexperienced leader. Think about how confidence, momentum, relationships and planning are affected by inexperienced decision making. Decision making is fundamental to entrepreneurial leadership.
We have taught decision making for decades, to individuals and their organizations. Once the process is learned it can be taught to others. Good decision making can positively affect an entire organization. It rubs off.
If you want to learn the Martial Art of Decision Making™ to become a better leader, to save money, to have more confidence and to achieve faster better results, then contact us. Make the right decision.


Western Cape: Since the fires that have engulfed the Western Cape, Kynsna and other surrounding areas on the 7th June 2017; those affected with the assistance of IEC who offered bakkies to transport relief material from SARCS and donations from Haarlems school; some members of the community have been helped. Relief items in a form of blankets, including masks to protect them from fire inhalation have been provided by Red Cross in the Western Cape. Hot meals have been supplied and to this day, still are. The solemn aftermath of the fires have seen SARCS remain onsite days after the disaster struck for the people that are still in dire need for support.
Eastern Cape: In Thornhill (Kouga), Van Stadens and Rocklands in the Eastern Cape, 204 people were evacuated including 20 children on the 8th. 56 homes were destroyed, including 3 farms and 2 businesses. 600 blankets were delivered for immediate relief and hot foods to those affected. In a densely forest populated area known as Longmore, 27 houses were completely destroyed and the roof of a creche completely destroyed. There were donations of chocolate bars, energy drinks and breakfast cereals received from SG Food Group, drinking water and hygiene packs from an anonymous donor and SARCS utilised these to support fire fighters who have worked tirelessly over the past 5 days. 50 volunteers who covered a distance close to 800km were mobilized from the Eastern Cape for Thornhill/Longmore areas that have been devastated.


How to use professional chatting sites effectively?
Instant Messaging is an essential for each generation using the internet at the present day. While there is numerous live chat software it is very important to adopt a sound strategy to use them for the success of any e-commerce venture.
The term "online chats etiquette" is actually the set of practice guidelines for live chat and instant messaging.
The following tips will certainly help you in effective application of these live chat tools and convert the potential clients into finalized deals.
With these, you can successfully get the valuable partners out of your various casual contacts.
The use of funny and humorous screen name is not right for a business environment; it is your first impression so it must be relevant and impressive. Also, the picture or the image to your profile must be chosen carefully.
As the first step of commencing the online chat with a potential customer, you should start it, in the same manner, you would use in a business telephone call, like "Hello, I'm Vijay Sain from Digital Marketing solution.
In the business environment usually people don't want to chat just for the sake of chatting, they need a special cause to spend the time out of their busy schedule. You should provide the most relevant information about your products and services as soon as possible during your chat as they would not like to wait while you try to find the technical information or the specific page.
It is quite right to deliver the messages with the acceptable word limit. It will give a positive impression and influence the receivers' minds when your discussion is short yet relevant.
Typing the message in upper case is regarded the rude behavior and very aggressive. Using the lowercase overall is the ideal practice.
Once you have sent a message or posed a question, give the receiver some time to think and make up their mind for the response. Never irritate them by asking for the response or the answer to your proposal, as it will ruin your reputation and they will not take you seriously in the future.
As your live chat session is very brief and limited interaction, you should not make any judgment on its basis. If the other party is not responding, seems to be abrupt or taking a long time to make a decision, you are suggested to stay professional and polite. No matter someone is not using "please" or "thank you", you should carry on doing so.
If a person or party who is rather new to you, has asked for your permission for chatting, don't underestimate it. Handling some other matters along with the chat and not paying the whole attention is a rude behavior and you can lose a possible beneficial deal due to your carelessness. Giving the undivided attention is a sign of respect while you are serving your live chat partner without any distraction you easily earn their respect and trust for the sake of your better professional career.
Using these funky shortcuts is not a nice way to chat with a person with the business and professional relations. If the other person is not very familiar with you, these things can confuse him. So behaving professional and decent is the better way to communicate with the professional community.
Many IM and Live Chat programs are furthermore added with emoticon features that help in attaching some feeling attached to the message. Instead of posting a joke or funny line, a smiley is the better way to express the emotion more clearly.
If you are trying to give your chat or messages a designer and creative appearance by using hot colors or designer fonts and various font sizes, beware it can make your customers or the chat partners uncomfortable and disturbed. Most possible use the fonts with a standard color, size, and type.
While you have the business and professional relationship with your Live Chat counterpart, you should strictly avoid asking the question relating to their personal life and matters. As a shortcoming of the live chat application, you cannot expect the complete security of your confidential information. If you need to deliver or receive some confidential information from this messaging portal, they're some applications having inbuilt features that allow the operation of secure IM sessions.
The sorting of the texts is another often used feature of many popular live chat applications. Usually known as the canned text, it is a superb way to save the time and typing labor. You just have to select the title of the text you often use during your professional chats to use it from your ready to send message window by click and select.
It is always good to ask for the permission before sending any file, image or pushing of your own choice for your live chat counterpart. As there is lots of nasty stuff is making people too much irritated, the appearance of something unexpected just between. The conversation will not be in the for the decent talk.
Just like the like the beginning of the chat, the end also should be impressive and proper. And here you need to make it formal because sometimes one party thinks that the chat is over, but the next one may be staring at the screen for further communication from the another side.
How much does Netflix cost for a month?
You are facilitated with the feature that helps you to set your "available" or "away" Sometimes it can be "online" or "offline". You can customize them for wise use of your status setting. You must take care if you have left your status set "online" and people are sitting and waiting for your response which is not going to happen. It can put a bad influence on your reputation and customer relations. On the other hand, if your system is set to "offline" status, people will never mind leaving their messages for you and you can respond them according to your availability of time and convenience.
If you are engaged in running an online business, where many employees are engaged in the live conversation with the clients, you need to monitor and review the conversations for quality control purpose. You must have known that what image these people are presenting to the outside world. In many live chat software applications, you can get the facility of transcript storage and retrieval, and some also allow the direct email of the transcript to the software administrator.

Home Latest US News Columbine survivor Austin Eubanks found dead at 37
Columbine survivor Austin Eubanks found dead at 37
Eubanks was found dead during a welfare check after he didn't answer his phone, Ryg said. Eubanks was 37.
No foul play is suspected, and an autopsy is scheduled for Monday, Ryg said.
Eubanks was 17 at the time of the Columbine shooting, according to CNN affiliate KMGH.
He was in the library with his friends, trying to decide whether they were going to go fishing or play golf after school, when they heard the sound of gunshots.
"A teacher ran through the same doors that we just entered into the library, yelling at everybody to get under the tables, that somebody had a gun, and I remember just being in shock," Eubanks told CNN last year.
Eubanks, his best friend and a couple of other students hid under the same table. About 10 minutes later, the shooters entered the library and methodically fired under each table, Eubanks said. He was shot in the hand and knee. His best friend was killed instantly.
"Obviously, after that, my life took a pretty big detour," Eubanks said.
"As a result of my injuries, I was pretty significantly medicated about 45 minutes after being shot. I remember immediately being drawn to that feeling, because it took the emotion away," he said of the pain medication.
Within a matter of weeks, he said, he developed an opioid addiction.
Eubanks continued to struggle with addiction in his 20s, he said. Then, after multiple attempts at residential treatment, he found long-term recovery and decided to devote his time to speaking out about addiction recovery.
His family released a statement to KMGH saying Eubanks "lost the battle with the very disease he fought so hard to help others face. Helping to build a community of support is what meant the most to Austin, and we plan to continue his work."
CNN's Hollie Silverman and Jacqueline Howard contributed to this report.

on a list created by OSHA relating to an emphasis program it has undertaken.
conference, this participation may not toll the time in which it must issue a notice of contest.
proposed OSHA citations by filing a complaint against the employer.
Each month, oshawlawfirm.com will keep you informed regarding OSHA inspection activity in the Mid-Atlantic States. We welcome you to visit our site to learn if OSHA is active in your state.
During June 2014, the Department of Labor reported at total of 259 OSHA inspections taking place in the Commonwealth of Virginia, with 18 of those inspections originating from the Norfolk office, and 241 originating in other offices. By way of comparison, only five (5) inspections originating in the Norfolk office took place during June 2013, with 297 inspections originating from other Virginia offices taking place during that time.
Please note that not all OSHA inspections are reported on OSHA's inspection database website.
OSHA may inspect a worksite under various sources of authority, including inspections conducted as the result of a complaint- generally lodged by an employee who reports purportedly unsafe working conditions to OSHA; as the result of a referral- generally from the media due to reports of an incident (e.g, accident involving injuries) taking place at the worksite; as part of an OSHA program (programmed inspection)- these inspections take place because the employer appears on a list created by OSHA relating to an emphasis program it has undertaken, including National Emphasis Programs (e.g., fall protection, chemical issues (PSM-related processes)); or self-reported fatalities or injuries taking place at the facility (e.g., employer contacts OSHA pursuant to regulations mandating reporting certain incidents).
If your worksite is inspected, feel free to contact our firm with any questions you may have regarding the OSHA citation defense process. OSHA will issue citations from any given inspection within six (6) months from the beginning of the inspection. In federal OSHA plan states, you only have 15 working days to contest the citation, including the proposed penalties and abatement periods set forth therein, from once it is received. If you participate in an informal settlement conference, this participation may not toll the time in which you must issue a notice of contest. If a timely notice of contest is not provided, you may lose your right to contest the proposed citations, including the attendant penalties and abatement periods. Once your notice of contest is received, OSHA or its state-plan equivalent will initiate the prosecution of the proposed OSHA citations by filing a complaint against your company.
Employer that caused a hazardous condition that violates an OSHA regulation.
Employer whose own employees are exposed to the hazard.
Employer that is engaged in a common enterprise with the exposing employer and is responsible for correcting the hazard. This may arise where an employer is given the responsibility of installing and/or maintaining particular safety/health equipment or devices on a worksite.
Employer who has general supervisory authority over the worksite, including the power to correct safety and health violations itself or require others to correct them.
A creating, correcting or controlling employer will often also be an exposing employer. Exposing, creating and controlling employers can also be correcting employers if they are authorized to correct the hazard.
If the employer falls into one of these categories, it has obligations with respect to OSHA requirements. After determining that the employer meets one of the above definitions, OSHA will determine if the employer's actions were sufficient to meet those obligations. If not, OSHA may cite both the employer whose employees committed the safety violation, and a second employer who falls into one of the above categories.
Example: Company A hires Contractor X to replace a grain distributor at Company A' facility. Contractor X informs Company A that it will conduct all of the work, and provide its employees with training and personal protective equipment for the work required. Company A requires Contractor X to certify that it will comply with all applicable OSHA regulations, including those established by Company A for contractors at its site. Contractor X agrees to do so.
Contractor X oversees the work of its own employees. Contractor X' employees fail to use fall protection when installing the distributor, which is located 100 feet above the ground. An OSHA inspector drives by and notices the lack of safety equipment. An employee of Company A arrives at the work site around the same time to check on the work. After confirming that fall protection was not being utilized, OSHA cites both Contractor X and Company A for a violation of OSHA' fall protection regulations. OSHA claims that Company A was a controlling employer on the work site and thus was responsible for ensuring the safety of the persons working thereon, even non-employees of Company A.
What are State and Federal OSHA Plans?
Federal government oversees enforcement of OSHA Act in 28 states, including West Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Alabama and Pennsylvania.
Twenty-two (22) states enforce the OSHA Act (or its revisions thereto) under federally approved "state" plans, including Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and South Carolina (Kansas just applied to be a State Plan).
Va. Code Section 40.1-22; Virginia's state plan "must be at least as stringent as standard promulgated by" Federal OSHA.
When you receive an OSHA Citation, you must post it (or a copy of it) at or near the place where each violation occurred to make employees awareof the hazards to which they may be exposed. The OSHA Citation must remain posted for 3 working days or until the hazard is abated, whichever is longer. (Saturdays, Sundays and Federal holidays are not counted as working days).

Q: Nodejs dns resolve timeout I have a nodejs script which is looping threw multiple wifi routers.
I am using the package node-wifi to establish a connection.
The problem is that when calling wifi.connect once it resolved I can not directly send a request on the local network, seems that it needs a little more time to be operative, if I am running the request directly I have a getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND
So I created this little function to wait until the connection is well established
const wifi = require("node-wifi");
const dns = require('dns');
const debug = require('debug')('wifi');

const canResolve = host => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    if (!host) host = 'google.com';
    debug(`Intenting to resolve host ${host} to verify connection`)
    dns.resolve(host, err => {
        if (err) {
            debug(`Fail to resolve host ${host} with error ${err}`)
            return resolve(false);
        }
        resolve(true);
    })
})

const sleep = ms => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms))

const waitForConnection = (maxRetry, host, retry) => {
    if (!retry) retry = 0;
    if (retry >= maxRetry) return Promise.reject(new Error('Can not connect to internet'))

    return sleep(1000)
        .then(() => canResolve(host))
        .then(connected => {
            if (connected) {
                debug(`WIFI connection verificated`);
                return;
            }
            retry++;
            return waitForConnection(maxRetry, host, retry)
        })
}

But from time to time (70% of the cases aprox) I have the error Fail to resolve host 192.168.169.1 with error Error: queryA ETIMEOUT 192.168.169.1 until maxRetry is reached.
192.168.169.1 is the host variable defined and the ip of my router.
while dns.resolve is working I am running the following script on another process
require('dns').resolve('192.168.169.1', function(err){console.log(err)})

And I instantaneously have a response with no error.
So I do not really understand why on a process I have a timeout and on another process I have an instant success response.
On another way I am open for improvements, the dns resolve is maybe not the better way to wait for the connection to be 100% functional. I could do it a much more easier way with a timeout of 5s for example but this is not very clean

Krishna Bharadwaj as Rama in Tenali Rama
Mumbai, February 26, 2018 (Online News India): With his smart and witty ways, Rama is always successful in solving tricky cases. But this week on Tenali Rama, Rama has to deal with a difficult task.
In the upcoming episode, Krishnadevaraya announces that on the auspicious occasion of Makar Sankranti in Vijayanagar, they will be worshipping the Goddess Kali. Like every year, the procession will carry the Devi's ornaments from the palace to the temple and Tathacharya will have to carry the box on his head. On the way of the procession, the box of ornaments gets stolen and replaced with another one. When the procession reaches the temple, everyone finds that the ornaments are stolen and the box is full of stones.
In the Darbaar, a messenger informs that Dhananjay, the biggest Lord of Wealth in India, is behind this robbery. He tells the King that Dhananjay wants Krishnadevaraya to bend on one knee in front of him and give a huge piece of land to him along with respect. And, only after that will Dhananjay return the box of ornaments. The King disagrees and tells the messenger that Dhananjay must prepare for war! Rama leaves to meet Dhananjay without the King's consent where he ends up saving his mute grandson. Rama tells Dhananjay that he can get his mute grandson to talk if he promises to return the box of ornaments. Dhananjay retorts that he can give him anything except the ornaments box.
Speaking about this challenge, Krishna Bharadwaj (Tenali Rama) said, "Rama is up for an immense challenge to protect the honor and respect of Vijayanagar. He will have to come up with a 'Do or Die plan. But what is interesting is to watch if Rama convinces Dhananjay or no that too without keeping Krishnadevraya in loop."

I wonder if Archie and those guys (and gal) in Velocity Girl would have copped to admitting that this track sounded a bit like Curve? In 1993, Curve were actually a band worth emulating. A bit.
Anyway, this early mix of a subsequent single (a split with Tsunami) is pretty damn good. Frankly, I like this almost as much as anything on Copacetic (1993).
The rush of sugary noise recalls MBV -- of course! -- and Pale Saints, as someone else already noted.


The Presidency and the Federal Ministry of Finance have not issued any official statement on the reported resignation of Finance Minister, Mrs Kemi Adeosun.
Many reports, especially on the social media claim that Adeosun has resigned as a member of the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
Efforts of PRNigeria to confirm the latest development from spokespersons in the Presidency and Ministry of Finance on her fate were not successful.
Adeosun was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari in November 2015.
